Are the springs on the Hagon rear shocks standard or slimline ones?

Looking at a set of Hagons for my Z1000 Mk 2 - any issues with the springs clearing the rear caliper torque arm or the chain guard?

Cheers,

Nick.

No issues to report so far Nick. Certainly no clearance issues ...

We all like a video so as I have made some major progress to the point that she now starts I have posted a few to Youtube.

Its been an education but I've made it !

Still a few things to do (like a good tune up) but a ride is at last in sight ..

Outstanding. It sounds like its running a bit rich even if that is on choke.
What fuel pressure does it have in the low rev range??
